Progressives are openly frustrated as the Biden administration flounders on issues across the board, but they are dismissing outright suggestions that previous party leaders - or, worse, Republicans - could be the solution.
The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal and The Week all devoted real estate in their opinion sections this week to potential big names, including Hillary Clinton, to replace either President Biden or Vice President Harris on Democrats' next White House ticket.
The problem? They have essentially no new relevance or natural links to 2024.
"Democrats have a rich history of bringing old-school politicians out of the stables for a comeback and having them get slaughtered," said Adam Green, co-founder of the Progressive Campaign Change Committee.

Shhhhhhhhhh!
It’s kind of amazing to watch the democrats do to themselves what the republicans never could.
Biden is on his last legs, and Harris is an uncontrollable prima-donna. They both must go. Harris must be gone before Biden expires. She is too dangerous otherwise. There is a lot of time pressure.
My guess is that the proposed replacements will be a Black man in his early fifties for President, and a White woman in her mid-forties for Vice President. The woman will be a (former) Republican. The man will be a Democrat. They will both be good stage performers and public speakers, even without teleprompters.
It will be proclaimed as a "Unity Ticket" to "bring us all together in a movement of national healing after the recent tragic and unexpected events".
I do not believe they have settled on the names just yet.
